Infrared Simulation
I have no idea if this is what infrared is supposed to look like, but I did the homework. Most of the examples I found online involved leafy trees, and we are in the dead of winter. There is no green to be found, except for some evergreens. I found a Photoshop Elements tutorial online and struggled through it. I took me two hours to figure things out, but then it was easy to go back and try different things. Which I did. I ended up experimenting with hues and saturation and liked this one best. It seems to best approximate some of the colors I’ve seen in infrared examples. This challenge turned out to be both frustrating and exilarating. Frustrating because it was so difficult to get through the tutorial and figure things out. But then exilarating because I figured things out and it actually became easy! A year ago I was totally intimidated by Photoshop, and now I actually know what a layer is, and can halfway understand what they are talking about when I watch a tutorial. Progress! All because this group has been forcing me to learn. So thank you, Rob, for once again yanking me out of my comfort zone!
